Pulp

Catalyst’s market pulp is northern bleached softwood kraft (NBSK) pulp, produced at our Crofton Division in British Columbia. Fibre selection, blending and bleaching are controlled to exacting specifications. High-quality residual chips from both coastal and interior forests are used to manufacture this pulp.

Catalyst’s NBSK pulp is a fully bleached (elemental-chlorine free) reinforcement grade pulp, valued by customers for its diversity of applications, and for its strength, runnability, high bulk, porosity and other functional advantages. It is available with PEFC³ certification, for those customers wishing additional assurance regarding the sustainability of sources of fibre supply.

End-use applications include lightweight coated paper for catalogues and magazines; wood-free printing and writing papers; tissues, coffee filters and other consumer products; and specialized applications like fibre cement and Japanese washi paper.
